I have a 2018 Suburban Z71.
I use it to tow my 4500 lb dry weight 18-foot travel trailer for me and the wife only. All kids grown.
8 pass: 1,540lbs. (bench middle and rear seats)
GVWR: 7500 lb
GAWR FRT: 3600 lb
GAWR RR: 4200 lbs
Plenty of power but transmission temps go up to 210F highway and slight inclines.
Had to modify the transmission thermal bypass valve to low temp and now my trans fluid stays around 175-180F.
